NAME

       gv-update-userconfig - update ~/.gv config file

SYNOPSIS

       gv-update-userconfig [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       gv-update-userconfig is a simple script to update an .gv config file to the current version of gv(1).

       You  can  specify  a  file which is used instead of .gv by using the optional filename argument. This is useful if the environment variable
       XUSERSEARCHPATH is used.

       This is done by removing all entries known to cause problems with the current version of GNU gv (i.e. the one the version of  this  program
       belongs to) and updating the version information in that file.  This resets all problematic items back to the default values.

       -h, --help, --usage
	      displays a short help message

       -r     removes all resources from ~/.gv that equal the default resources being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).

       -n     switches	to  alternative navigation by adding resp. updating navigation resources to ~/.gv, i. e. after each page switch (except if
	      selected by the page number) the page is scrolled to top (if switching forward) resp. to the bottom (if switching backward).

       -N     switches to standard navigation by adding resp. updating navigation resources to ~/.gv.

       -s     removes navigation resources from ~/.gv and therefore enables standard navigation.

       -i     updates translation file. Using the optional filename parameter is strongly recommended for using this option. This option cannot be
	      used together with any of the other options.

BACKGROUND

       The $(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the Save button in one of the configuration dialogs.

       The  values  in	there  are used, if there is no display-specific resource value (loaded from $(HOME)/.Xresources at login time or manually
       xrdb(1)).

       Sometimes older values miss things needed by the new GNU gv to work properly.  This GNU gv will notice old (or missing) version information
       in this file and refuse to start until fixed.
